Chapter 367 Let's practice well in summer

Due to the lessons learned from the Detroit Pistons, the Spurs did not dare to be careless about this game. In the pre-match arrangement, **Vich asked the players to be careful not to be called for defensive fouls, as long as the defense is in place. , Don't have to restrict the opponent to death, especially Stephen, who is defending LeBron James, was repeatedly told by Vicki.

In the offense, **Vich arranged for the team to play more tactical offenses, minimize confrontational offenses at the basket, and focus on outside shots, because this kind of offense is not easily interfered by the referee, whether it is the substitute lineup or the main lineup , The inside line is mainly based on support and cover.

Of course, this is just the principle of the game. As for details such as tactical adjustments and defensive rotation changes, **Vichitch has also made detailed arrangements. In the defense against LeBron James, he gave up the inside combination of the first two games. One person defends against LeBron James alone, reducing his impact and damage.

**Vitch also faintly felt the displeasure of the league. Although the decline in overseas ratings has nothing to do with the Spurs' direct revenue, the dissatisfaction of the league can affect the Spurs. Next, **Vitch doesn't introduce the team to play better. Of course, the main reason is that **Vitch feels that it is necessary to play offensive tactics now.

Coincidentally, Mike Brown, who returned to the home court, also formulated a game strategy to strengthen the offense. As soon as the game started, the two teams launched a fierce offensive collision, and returned to their own home court, just like a king returning to his own territory. It greatly increased LeBron James' self-confidence, and frequently launched an impact on the Spurs' defense, causing damage.

After Duncan's habitual help defense was called a blocking foul by the referee, the Spurs did not dare to defend LeBron James like this. In this way, all the defensive pressure fell on Stephen, who needed to follow from the outside to the basket. Do your best to stop LeBron James' offense.

Even if Stephen was careful and raised his vigilance, defense is not about dancing, physical contact is inevitable, and he got a foul soon. After realizing the referee's penalty scale, Stephen didn't dare to defend like this again, LeBron James This is like a fish in water.

At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs trailed the Cavaliers by 21 points 28-[-]. LeBron James scored [-] points with free throws in this quarter, which was close to his total points in the two games. Stephen Most of the energy was spent on defending LeBron James. He didn't perform much on the offensive end and only scored six points. However, Michael Finley performed very well in this quarter, making two three-pointers and adding a layup. One made two free throws and scored nine points.

In the second quarter, the Spurs still sent Stephen to defend LeBron James, and at the same time replaced the bench lineup. Robert Horry's defense was not as good as Duncan's. Shikas and Varejao's height advantage to score.

However, the Spurs have a certain advantage beyond the three-point line. Whether it is Stephen, Ginobili or Robert Horry, they all made more than two three-pointers in this quarter. , Instead, the score was brought back by four points. At the end of the first half, the Spurs trailed the Cavaliers by only three points.

In the third quarter, the Spurs changed again. With Robert Horry as the center, they played a lineup of one big and four small. Stephen still stayed on the court to defend LeBron James, Ginobili, Brent Barry, Udic, five people in this lineup can shoot three-pointers. The Spurs have changed from a defensive team that ends inside and outside to an offensive player that focuses on three-pointers from outside.

After coming up, Robert Horry made a [-]-pointer to tie the game, and after Steph completed a steal from LeBron James, he passed the ball again to Robert Horry, who stood outside the three-point line As soon as he raised his hand, Marshall jumped up immediately. Robert Horry got short and got under him, then raised his hand again and aimed at the basket to shoot, but it still didn't miss.

The title of "Mr. Key to the Finals" is not for nothing. After leading the Cavaliers, the Spurs have always grasped the initiative of the game. The Cavaliers' defense can no longer be strengthened, but the Spurs' offense is still sharp. Spurs fans who watched the game on television watched it with a very strange feeling.

When is it the turn of the Spurs to use offense to bully others, and it is still in the finals, is this the Spurs we are familiar with, but although it feels very strange, the game process is very exciting, the Spurs have always played Playing the role of the leader, the Cavaliers chased hard, but when they were always one step away, they were left behind by the Spurs.

**Vich’s strategy before the game was very effective. If he didn’t fight with the Cavaliers in the interior, the Cavaliers’ home court advantage would not be able to be brought into play, and the Cavaliers’ habit of defending the interior or combining internal and external defenses would also be difficult for the Spurs. Unable to play it out, I can only watch the Spurs frequently take shots from the outside.

The Cavaliers' offense is not good, which limits their ability to chase points, especially when the opponent's offense is better, but the defense can't stop them. LeBron James alone can't match the score. The Spurs are fighting for their lives.

At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers fell behind by four points. This made the Cavaliers fans unacceptable. At their home court, the Cavaliers still had no choice but to take the Spurs. Partial to help the Cavaliers, but the Spurs' strategy to avoid this trap.

In the fourth quarter, although the Spurs rotated their personnel and Stephen also took a rest, the Spurs sent Bruce Bowen to defend LeBron James. LeBron James was chasing points while Stephen was away. But Bruce Bowen's defense is not much easier to deal with than Stephen, and he is not strong, and he is not physically strong until now.

Mike Brown knows his physical problems, but he can't replace him to rest, because LeBron James can't agree to this request, and the fans won't agree, if the team loses this game, then let him go off the field It is necessary to bear all the blame. It is better to let him be on the court. Even if he loses, he will bear most of the responsibility.

Mike Brown has followed a principle since he came to the Cavaliers, considering things from the standpoint of LeBron James, which made him quickly accepted by the entire team. At the same time, his relationship with LeBron James is also very harmonious, and there will be no situation where the generals disagree. Of course, everyone has their own judgment on who is the general and who is handsome.

Perhaps in Mike Brown's view, he has managed the superstar LeBron James very well, but in LeBron James' view, it is not so easy for him to meet such a coach who is willing to give up all principles to cooperate with him.

Sure enough, during the TV pause time, when Mike Brown asked LeBron James if he needed to rest for a few minutes, LeBron James drank water and shook his head. Tactics are set.

However, after the timeout, the Cavaliers still couldn't solve the problem of weak offense, especially after Stephen returned to the court, the Cavaliers failed to score for 2 minutes, LeBron James made two mistakes, and in the fourth quarter of the finals such a key At this moment, the team is behind again. Under such circumstances, they cannot score. Everyone has seen the weakness of the Cavaliers, which can also be said to be the weakness of LeBron James.

The Spurs expanded the score gap to more than ten points. Everyone saw that the Cavaliers' general situation was over. Only LeBron James was still stubbornly shooting the basket, but to no avail. The Spurs' offense was more efficient. Seeing that the gap was still being closed Widen, and LeBron James is still relentlessly shooting.

After missing again, Stephen patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "Practice well in summer."

"Your team is stronger than ours, and your performance is not that good." Stephen's kindness was not accepted by LeBron James. Turning his head, LeBron James said to Stephen. Of course, Stephen's performance today is indeed Not very good, he only scored 22 points, four rebounds and two assists. This is because he focused his energy on defending LeBron James.

"I can understand your feelings. Next season, I will find a few more helpers. I will wait for you." Stephen ignored his feelings. It is for a guy like LeBron James whose life is as high as the sky, but the reality is like this. It is already very good for a one-man team to reach the stage of the finals, which is enough to prove LeBron James’ ability, so Stephen The words were not to make fun of him, but to comfort him in reality.

"Humph!" LeBron James didn't appreciate it, and hummed a long-winded one. Stephen stood there and sighed. It's not over, it has to go on.

In the last 2 minutes, LeBron James launched a fierce counterattack, but Stephen directly smashed all the hopes of the Cavaliers with two consecutive three-pointers. The game was finally fixed at 87-99. The advantage of three points won the third victory and got the match point.
